iPhone 13 Pro Max not receiving notifications due to background internet issues

Hello!

My internet (cellular data and Wi-Fi) does not work in the background. Therefore, notifications do not come to the phone from all social networks. Only after entering the applications is the connection to the network established and the data is updated. I did a full reset of the network settings, also a full reset of the settings themselves, it did not help. There is no VPN on the phone. Do not disturb mode, everything is off. Power saving mode is also off. Nothing helps, even a full reset of the settings. The problem arose 6-7 days ago. Phone model Iphone 13 Pro Max

If background internet connectivity is not working properly on your device, there could be several reasons for it. Here are some possible causes and troubleshooting steps:

  1. Background App Refresh is Disabled: Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and ensure it is enabled for the apps that need it.
  2. Low Power Mode is On: When Low Power Mode is enabled, background activity is reduced. Check under Settings > Battery and turn it off if necessary.
  3. Network Issues
    1. Try switching between Wi-Fi and cellular data.
    2. Reset network settings: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings (this will erase Wi-Fi passwords).
  4. App-Specific Restrictions
    1. Some apps have their own settings for background data. Check inside the app’s settings.
    2. Verify if "Allow Apps to Use Data" is enabled under Settings > Cellular for the affected apps.
  5. VPN or Firewall Blocking Connectivity: If you're using a VPN or security app, try disabling it and see if background connectivity improves.
